Noah Weeth Feinstein is an Associate Professor in the Department of Curriculum & Instruction and the Department of Community & Environmental Sociology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison's School of Education. He also serves as Director of the Robert E. and Jean F. Holtz Center for Science and Technology Studies. His research explores how people engage with science in personal, social, and political contexts, with a focus on educational platforms like museums and schools. Feinstein holds a PhD in Science Education from Stanford University (2008) and an MS in Biological Sciences (2006). His work bridges Science and Technology Studies (STS) with education, examining issues such as environmental sociology, equity in science museums, climate change adaptation, and responses to the 'post-truth' era. He contributed to a National Academies report on science literacy and has studied how museums can become more equitable institutions. His recent publications emphasize equity in science education, climate adaptation strategies, and public engagement frameworks. Notable works include discussions on community-level environmental literacy, the paradox of public knowledge in sociology, and the role of education in addressing climate change. Feinstein frequently presents at conferences like the American Educational Research Association, focusing on topics such as racial equity in museums and structural racism in science centers. Feinstein’s research integrates theoretical frameworks from sociology, education, and STS to address practical challenges in science communication and institutional change. His work highlights the need for education systems to foster collective sensemaking rather than individual truth-seeking in a polarized society.
